Growing up on his parents' ranch in Texas, Samuel Claiborne became well aware of the connection between hard work and determination. But when a two-fold tragedy befalls him at the outset of the Mexican-American War, his entire world shatters. Taken in by his uncle, Nathaniel, a financial advisor in New Orleans, Samuel gradually learns that sometimes adverse situations have a silver lining.

The machine of war comes back around, however, dividing the country nearly in half. An old wound, aggravated by a new one, forces Samuel to leave everything he knows behind. It is then that he stumbles upon a small lakeshore village where he is acquainted with Angélique Benoit, a young Creole woman, and her mother, Rosalie.

Will Samuel be able to stay long enough to accomplish all he intends to do? Or will situations beyond his control force him from the village only to go back to the city and attempt to come to terms with everything that has caused him deep emotional pain?
